Understanding the Impact of Robots’ Embodiment on User Acceptance and Engagement
With Global South’s (GS) aging population and advancements in technology, social robots have emerged as a potential alternative for supporting elderly care. However, there is a limited research investigating the engagement and acceptance of technology in GS. This paper investigates the engagement with and acceptance of three differently embodied social robots (Vector, Miro, Nao) among older adults in Pakistan. Through mixed methods, including int…
Navigating Sociocultural Tensions in Prenatal Care
Pregnant women in the Global South face significant challenges due to lack of resources and informational gaps. In this paper, we take an assets-based lens to examine the experiences of pregnant women in a low-resource setting in Ghana, focusing on the role of information and technology in prenatal care. Through interviews and co-design workshops, we sought to understand the perspectives of multiple stakeholders including pregnant women, their fa…
Exploring the design of physical artefacts to visualise household consumption for encouraging sustainable practices
Although household consumption contributes to climate change, it can be challenging to comprehend the consequences and effects from a personal perspective. In this paper, we explore the design of physical data visualisations to promote sustainable practices within households. We conducted 15 household design workshops involving household members to explore physical designs and envision the potential use of physical artefacts in the home to promot…
Reflections on Digital Maternal and Child Health Support for Mothers and Community Health Workers in Rural Areas of Limpopo Province, South Africa
Participants expressed the significant role of digital support apps in maternal and child health, which is impacted by various challenges. Addressing the lack of digital resources could improve access to health instructions for pregnant women and mothers
Healthcare professionals’ experiences and perceptions regarding health care of indigenous pregnant women in Ecuador
“Must you make an app?” A qualitative exploration of socio-technical challenges and opportunities for designing digital maternal and child health solutions in Soweto, South Africa
Participatory and digital health approaches have the potential to create solutions to health issues and related inequalities. A project called Co-Designing Community-based ICTs Interventions for Maternal and Child Health in South Africa (CoMaCH) is exploring such solutions in four different sites across South Africa. The present study captures initial qualitative research that was carried out in one of the urban research sites in Soweto. The aim …
Diet and food insecurity among mothers, infants, and young children in Peru before and during Covid‐19
The COVID-19 pandemic may impact diet and nutrition through increased household food insecurity, lack of access to health services, and poorer quality diets. The primary aim of this study is to assess the impact of the pandemic on dietary outcomes of mothers and their infants and young children (IYC) in low-income urban areas of Peru. We conducted a panel study, with one survey prepandemic (n = 244) and one survey 9 months after the onset of COVI…
Digital mediation of candidacy in maternity care
The values and principles underpinning community engagement approaches to tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR)
in action within existing AMR interventions. Finally, we consider the extent to which CE approaches are appropriate to tackle AMR challenges. We reflect on these in relation to the tool, and current literature for both CE and AMR research. Authors and co-producers anticipate this tool being used to scene-set, road map and trouble shoot the development, implementation, and evaluation of CE projects to address AMR and other One Health challenges. H…
